Residents of Velachery have a new park thanks to the Singara Chennai 2.0 project.
What’s it about? The vacant land at VGP Selva Nagar in Velachery, once filled with garbage, is now a sprawling park. The Corporation has built a park under the Open Space Reservation (OSR), part of the Singara Chennai 2.0 project. It’s located adjacent to the MRTS station service road near Perungudi.
- The park was built on 6,000 sq feet of land for ₹75 lakhs. It has a small shed for yoga and other exercises, play equipment for kids, and a paved footpath.
- It’s the first park developed by the civic body after many years. For a long time, several parks in Velachery East were neglected due to the pandemic.
Resident’s demand: People want the Corporation to renovate the park at the Third Street Extension. It once had a footpath and a play area for kids. Now, it’s in bad shape, with the pavement damaged.
